http://evworld.com/press/eads_efan_parisVLFQ480x320.jpgI sweat to God a couple of years ago I was in Dorset and looked over and saw some sort of odd flying straight wing aircraft, couldn't identify it at all. Who knows what's flying about at times? (okay, some of you on here have a better idea than most)!! A few years ago I gave a lift to a couple of kids hitching back to Cornwall, they told me they'd been having a beach party at midnight somewhere down North Somerset when they looked up a saw a "silent Stealth plane" go right over them...described it totally. They had no reason to lie. Who knows what's flying about..? not me, that's for sure. Goodnight.

shame no mention of specific noise mentioned - both the suspect aircraft sound v different...
|
Don't know about the OPs plane, but the one I heard was a jet, sounded not unlike a Hawk.
A possibility that occurred to me was a Jet Provost/Strikemaster. Not sure if there are any flying in the UK. I got the impression it was slightly larger than that though, but the straight square tipped wings would be correct. |
L39? I believe there's a few around.
|
Theres a few JP's about and I think 1 strikemaster but they look nothing like an A10 lol

Union Jack - the first A-10 to get the new wing was rolled out from rework on 15 February 2012 at Hill AFB, Utah (~15 miles from where I am).
http://www.hill.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123291346 Boeing is making the wings (first contract awarded June 2007), but Hill AFB is actually making the swap, along with other upgrades. However, if the A-10 is retired, Hill won't be impacted much - they just got more F-22 work. Depot-level maintenance on F-22s had been split about 50:50 between Hill & Lockheed, but Hill was recently awarded 100% of the depot maintenance (an average of 24 aircraft per year). Additionally, Hill is to get much of the F-35 workload once that program settles into "normal" status. The F-16s being modernized for Pakistan are also having all the work done at Hill. |
